Holographic LCARS displaying Ironman

[OrigamiMotion]

Crap, I want to be in your class

[Bracerjack]

@OrigamiMotion

I don't teach anymore.

I am now just a sad lonely guy doing freelance.

I might not have much to offer in areas of education now but I could use a company.

If I ever go for a trip to your country we could have Tea :)

[OrigamiMotion]

@Bracerjack

green tea? :)

[Bracerjack]

@OrigamiMotion

Your treat.

[SirWillig]

this is so cool! i saw it on the website. i dont understand your tutorial on making the helmet at all. the result looks great although the jaw is a little on the big side. heck its awesome though!

[Bracerjack]

@SirWillig

Thank you Will Grantham.

I see that you are learning Cinema 4D, how is that coming along ?

[SirWillig]

@Bracerjack Well i have pretty much gotten to grips with it now, do you think you could do a video version of your iron man tutorial? because i really wanna have a go at this and im not sure which tools to use

[Bracerjack]

@SirWillig

It's doesn't matter, edge modeling is a concept native to a lot of modeling programs.

[SirWillig]

@Bracerjack okay then.

[SirWillig]

@Bracerjack oh okay, is there any other way?

[Bracerjack]

@SirWillig

There are many ways to go about modeling, but I almost ALWAYS fall back on edge modeling.

[SirWillig]

@Bracerjack okay, il keep trying. i have started using schematics to see if that helps

[harboroflight]

You are amazing man! Thanks for sharing.

[Bracerjack]

@harboroflight

Awww :)

[zck20200]

Do I see some star trek themed stuff in there?

[Bracerjack]

@zck20200

Sir yes Sir!

It's LCARS :D

[altiairdavinci661]

one probelem

alittle to rough

[Bracerjack]

@altiairdavinci661

I absolutely agree.

[nanohawk2]

your face look so happy

[Bracerjack]

@nanohawk2

If we exclude those days where I cry myself to sleep, yeah. :)

[hallis1]

that's pretty damn neat.

[Bracerjack]

@hallis1

Thanks Handsome :)

Nice Guitar Skills :D

[darkrashan]

heh startrek and ironman.. nice

[Tepicoelano2]

why is there holes

[PatrioticAnarchist]

WTF with the artifacts?

[Bracerjack]

Say what now ?

[Bracerjack]

This is due to the fact that the model started out life in High Poly, and i use a auto degeneration program to decrease the number of polys for the 3D model.

Due to it being an automated process, without me going in and fixing it, the N-Gon shows itself as black holes that pop up every now and then.

[gunblade64]

Looks like "StarTrek: The Next Generation" -graphics mixed with Iron Man to me.

[Bracerjack]

It is :D

That's why I say LCARS & Ironman :)

[BuschTukkerMan]

WOOW awsome video!

[jubjub250]

any way to fix those polys that annoyingly dissapear, kinda ruins the effect :P

[Bracerjack]

@jubjub250

The only way would be to model from scratch, a low poly version of the Helmet.

I have better things to do, like watch the Big Bang Theory ;p Haaaaaaaaa

[RyanFlyDogs]

Do i need a program or software to activate this in my webcam?

[Bracerjack]

Nope, you just need a webcam and the Flash Player Plugin which your computer probably have :)

[RyanFlyDogs]

do i need a program or software for this?? please reply I love this

[yzon33]

i like this awesome

[arulflorance]

u china bastard!!go and fuk urself

[TheAristoi]

Im not hip to this tech...what is this?

[Bracerjack]

@TheAristoi

Some Augmented Reality Crap :)

[Ungthar]

This is remarkable!! I LOVE the LCARS interface...it has remained one of my favorite forms of computer interface for as long as i can remember...even if it hasn't really existed outside of the star trek-'verse...lol. What you have accomplished here is nothing short of INCREDIBLE...augmented reality through the use of a webcam...simple technology that almost everyone has at there disposal!

[Bracerjack]

I can relate to the love of LCARS :)

There is just something...super Tech about it.

[yo123454321]

I just came buckets

[Imacuser223]

Just LCARS in 3D was cool, but who would've guessed you could manipulate it like this? Awesome!

Makes me sorry I lost my webcam (I wanna try it).

[Bracerjack]

@Imacuser223

I am so sorry you lost your webcam, you always have this video to show you how it looks like :D

[osakanone]

Very cool but you need to update the refresh-rate (cam & effect) and add some dampening into it.

Otherwise, this is quite remarkably awesome.

If you could find a way to do this in realtime and display it on something portable or even on a helmet mounted display system, you're really in business.
